How Easy It Is To Obtain Florida Divorce Records On The Internet

By Ben Kingsley


The fourth most populous state in the US is Florida, also known as The Sunshine State. In 2010, the U.S, Census estimated the state's population to be a little over 18.8 million, majority of which are Americans. About 2.4% are Asian Americans while there are also Florida residents who are Hawaiian natives and multiracial Americans. What this proves is that it is possible to meet all kinds of people when you are in Florida. It will be easy to find new friends and potential lifetime partners. It is important, though, to be extra cautious when meeting and dealing with people you barely know, especially in a place as populated as Florida. As such, it is essential for you to do some kind of a background check on an individual. If you met somebody whom you think you'd want to spend your life with, you should check his or her background by requesting for access to Florida divorce records. In the Sunshine State, these records can be accessed through the Department of Health.

The Department of Health handles the Bureau of Vital Statistics, which is Florida's main repository for all divorce records. The dossiers found in this office date back to June 06, 1927. Each record you request for is worth $5, but if you do not have the exact date of the dissolution of marriage, you will have to pay an extra $2 for every additional year searched. You can spend as much as $50 if you search up to 25 years. If you decide to request for an additional copy on the same day when you made the original request, you will pay $4 for each.

These fees are for records found and not found in the Vital Statistics Office. There is no refund for records not available in the repository, but you will be given a statement verifying that the record was not found. Duplicates can be refunded, but only if you submit a letter of request. Divorce records are also available at the office of the Clerk in the county where the dissolution of marriage took place.

You need to prepare the requirements before you make your request. All the essential information about the record you are trying to obtain should be ready: the full names of the husband and wife (including the wife's maiden name), when and where the divorce was granted, and as requestor, your complete name, mailing address and contact number. A self-addressed stamped envelope is also needed. Prepare your payments in money order or personal check addressed to the Bureau of Vital Statistics. Since certified copies of divorce records are not open to the general public in Florida, you should gather more information about this from the Vital Statistics Office. Individuals who own the records are allowed to get certified copies, of course, but only certain authorized entities can obtain the same records.

The usual processing period of divorce records in Florida is from two to five business days after your request is accepted. Rush requests are accommodated for an additional fee of $10, but you will still need to wait for at least three business days for your request to be granted.

For a more efficient, practical, and faster means of accessing divorce records in the Sunshine State, go for online record providers. These independent record searchers have their own online database that you can access 24/7. So you won't need to wait for three to five days before your request is granted. You'll get the record you need after only a few minutes. What's even better is that you don't have to pay for every request you make; you only need to pay a minimal one-time fee. In exchange for this, you'll be able to access their database anytime you want to, without paying a single dollar. So if you questions about where to find divorce records, you now have your answer and it's the best one: independent online record providers.
